Moved save to new computer, lost created columns on player cards and team and manger page views

Sweed · 06-19-2020, 12:43 AM

Hoping somebody else has run into this and will know where to look

Installed OOTP on new computer, PC.

Copied the whole folder that sits in "documents" to a stick.

Copied .lg folder to the saved games folder under OOTP Baseball 21 folder in documents.

Copied ballparks, sounds to cover my cameras and sound mods. Worked fine.

Copied tables figuring it would cover views and changes to player cards and Manager and team screen views. This worked fine for views and filters but.... as noted in the title my changes to columns on the player cards and also arrangement of team and manager screens did not come into the game.

I tried copying other folders.... database, misc, stats, templates. None brought back my custom player, manager, or team page views.

Anyone have an idea what I need to copy to get these back?

Thanks.

That other data is stored in the local user object. If you go to the settings menu, troubleshooting tab, that's linked from the button that says "open folder containing app.cfg & engine.cfg". In that folder, it's the user.dat file which stores most of those on-screen configuration settings.

Yes, I did copy in the "tables" file and that did bring in my views and filters. As noted I brought in all of my saved game folder and most of the folders from the from
"this pc>documents>Out of the Park Developments>OOTP Baseball 21"
IE ballparks, database, misc, saved_games, sounds, stats, tables, templates. Leaving out things that, I would think never apply, IE online_data, logos, help, etc.

What is missing is all of the changes I made to the player cards (adding columns like rWar, FIP, etc.) and how I organized the manager and team screens.

Can't figure it out, has to be stored somewhere, right?

Thought either Matt would stop in with an easy answer of someone else would have been through it and know where they are. I can always rebuild them, but it just seems strange they're in the game but not anywhere in the saved game or OOTP 21 folders. Haven't gone back to the old computer to try to pull files from the x86 install location but I can't believe they would be there.

And Matt came in as I way typing. Thank you Matt

Thanks Matt for the answer and for being around the boards helping the users. Just the norm for OOTP Developments I know, but very much appreciated

Worked like a charm. I'm pouring you a virtual beer, cheers
